PORTLAND “LIVING MARKET” COMPLEXArchitectural Design StudioProfessor Don GenasciUniversity of Oregon 2013
Given the opportunity to work with a site and program of my
choosing, I was initially intrigued by the lack of community
gardens in Northwest Portland, and began exploring ways to
address this while still creating a realistic and profitable program
on the high-value site at NW 21st and Burnside Avenue in
Portland, OR. As the project went on, the program evolved to
become an 80 unit apartment complex with ground-floor retail
and a rooftop restaurant. Flanking the west side of the tower is a
local produce market, opening into a public square. Utilizing the
space of its generous footprint, the market contains a living roof
with two components: one for growing produce for the market,
and another serving the neighborhood as a community garden.2 | John Maternoski

E = (F x CU x MF)/A where: E = illumination (10-18fc needed for dining areas) F = light output (# of fixtures x lamp lumens) CU = coefficient of utilization (calculation above) MF = maintenance factor (0.70 for uplights) A = area (2,130sf for dining area)

A 4’ length of the selected luminaire has an output of 4,208 lumens. 77,361/4,208 = 18.38 = (19) 4’ fixtures To achieve the necessary light levels for the dining area, 19 of the selected 4’ LED fixtures will need to be used

PUBLIC SQUARE + APARTMENT DESIGNArchitectural Design StudioProfessors Don Genasci + Sean ChoUniversity of Oregon 2012
Working within a strict set of design standards and guidelines, the
focus of this studio was twofold. The client, Con-way Companies,
requested a design for a neighborhood public square, fitting
within the already-designed master plan for the neighborhood.
This square was shaped by the space created between several
building massings, designed with specific proportions to create
a comfortable square. One of these individual buildings was to
then be programmed and designed in greater detail, with a focus
on activating the square and the neighborhood while also
providing a comfortable place to live. My focus building was a
10 story apartment building with a coffee shop and bakery at the
base, inviting a variety of people to bring life to the square.

MINNEAPOLIS MONTESSORI SCHOOLProgramming StudioUniversity of Minnesota 2011
Through extensive research involving precedent studies of local,
national and world-renowned primary education facilities, the
challenge was to create a Montessori school designed to meet
the unique needs of children while responding to the intense
standards set forth by the Montessori program. Local schools
were visited and research was conducted on the patterns and
habits of children in a classroom environment. Successful and
unsuccessful elements of other schools were also studied.
From this research, a series of models were created at a variety of
scales, exploring responses to the issues studied. These models
led to the design of a whole school designed to fit a local site.

CROWN HALL STUDYStudy of Materials + Construction TechniquesUniversity of Minnesota 2010Collaboration with Alissa Deneen
The goal of this exercise was to carefully examine the material
components and assembly techniques of a post-1950 low-rise
structure as a way to better understand real-world problem-
solving and construction techniques. After analyzing the building
components, the task was to construct a model of the building
section in an effort to reinforce the knowledge gained and ensure
a deep understanding of the building’s assembly. Our project
focused on the International Style and the design of Mies Van der
Rohe’s S.R. Crown Hall, on the campus of IIT in Chicago, Illinois.
The model was constructed of acrylic, MDF, and museum board at
a scale of 1” = 1’-0”.
As we analyzed the building, we hand drew sections and individual components in an effort to truly understand how the building was constructed.
Structural and building systems were analyzed on a whole-building scale to understand how these systems work individually and as a whole to make the building functional.(Drawing by Alissa Deneen)
Traditional plans and elevations were drawn to communicate the overall scheme of the building, and understand the role of each component within the greater structure. (Plan and elevation drawn by Alissa Deneen)

THIS IS (K)NOT ARCHITECTUREDesign Fundamentals CourseUniversity of Minnesota 2010
Starting with a simple knot in a piece of string, the form and
shape of the knot were carried through a series of iterations
spanning a wide variety of material and construction techniques.
These techniques helped to identify multiple attributes of the
form, ranging from its delicacy as a wire model to its volume as a
massing model, culminating in a final “eggcrate” model technique,
highlighting positive and negative space. The purpose of this
exercise, in addition to strengthening skills in craft and model
making, was to make space apparent and introduce it as part of
the figure itself. These methods of construction allow the viewer
to have an infinite number of experiences with the models,
depending on the angle in which the models are viewed.

LAS ROSAS CENTRO INFANTILVolunteer Project for Habitat for HumanityCartago, Costa Rica 2008-09
Selected by Habitat for Humanity Costa Rica following an initial
design competition, my task was to design a child care center
following strict program and budgetary limitations. I was asked
to be a complete set of construction documents, including
electrical and plumbing plans, as well as a series of renderings
to be used for informational as well as fundraising purposes.
Using the University of Minnesota Child Development Center as
a precedent study, I carefully analyzed building layout, room
connections, and connection to the outdoors, using my findings
from that research to influence my design for the new project.
